The Trees That Whisper In The Evening. Carried Away By A Moonlight Shadow. Sing A Song Of Sorrow And Grieving. Carried Away By A Moonlight Shadow

This evening, ripples were sent through Devil's world and He's still trying to cope with the after effects of it all.

A close family member passed away this evening aged 13 years, due to ill health and further complications. It wasn't a particularly sudden death and we knew it was a matter of being sooner rather than later...but it doesn't make it any easier to deal with. Death never is.

I can't help but wonder if I had done something different or if someone else had done something different, they would still be alive now. I guess such is the nature of life, death and those that the deceased leave behind.

If it's any consolation though, they passed away peacefully and no longer has to endure any hardships like loss of appetite and breathing difficulties that they were experiencing in the last few weeks. I'm saddened that they've left this world...but at the same time I'm feeling relieved because they're no longer suffering.

Regardless: I will always love you my little friend and you will be dearly missed.
